Yes it is my R33 GTR with 143.4 or 144 kw @ the wheels. I was very disappointed when I went home and checked againts my other sheets. Then a brain wave hit me AVO was done in 3rd gear..... 175kw 2 months ago......

I was on the dyno straight after you and I thought 'whoo hoo I should make more than the GTR, this will make my kw figure look more impressive' jokingly after we knew your GTR was obviouly not making what it should.

Then I had problems too and only made 137.4kw :D I was disappointed too. But hey there is always next time after all the problems are fixed. :)

What key ring?? :D

Members who have renewed this year are given a special SAU gift as a thanks for renewing.

It's an SAU VIC Member keyring / bottle opener.

Being in the wrong gear under "shootout mode" guidelines and correct dyno operation isn't mean to affect power output but every time I've seen a car dynoed in another gear the values are whacko, so dyno'ing in 3rd does skew the results unfortunately, which could explain why it was higher on AVO's dyno (makes sense now).

The standard limp mode could be triggered by a few things, one of the main sensors fried should do it.

Consult should tell you what sensor is toast. Look for the obvious ones, both AFM signals, water temp signal.

Well i found out today that RANK ROTARY dyno is Actually Out i showed Pete @ rank

the RE dyno sheet and he said:

"well that confirms it i had so many cars reading lower than what they should My dyno is out of wack by a bit"

So IM REAL HAPPY :) 238.8 rwkw and my engine needs a rebuild Thats Crazy power for the rb20. Once i rebuild should have way more MAYBE RB25 on the way!!!!!!

Anyway i never got a key ring are they only for brand new members?

i sighned up two months ago :) id love an SAU Key ring...

Oh well Who's Going to the Phillip Island Track Day next Week Cause im in

Fitted the Fire Extinguisher today

Cant wait oh yeah thanks for the photo of my car 2 Even though its like MULTI couloured

needs paint on all new parts ;) blue grill purple bonnet grey bumper...

when are you giving them out?

i should got one off ya at the GOR cruise....

Hey big thanks to CHrisman for introducing me to some great people and RCHOO and other members thanks for havin a chat to me as a new member i can really appreciate you guys helping out with recommendations etc...

A great turn out to a fantastic day! Was a very successful event I feel! Good work to the organizers and Ray and the guys at RE for doing such a good job.

Was super disappointed with my cars output but then again I knew the car wasn't right and hasn't felt it for a while, that's why I popped it on. Issues with AFR, Knock and Boost. Gotta stop putting off fix's so on that note, dropping the car a RPM tomorrow for some TLC. See you all at the next dyno day :D

I received them just before the Dyno Day. Your on a list to receive one as you have already renewed this year. Be patient, you will get one :D

yeah and a boost controller that works maybe :rant:

I also had a good day....

My car went on near the end of the day when most people had left, was happy with my 140kW or so. Last dyno day I had 128kW, so the batmbl split dump and metal cat has added a bit.

I also was trying Boost 98 octane 10% ethanol fuel for my run. I know this has been debated before but i guess now we have evidence that YOU CANNOT RUN BOOST 98 FUEL in a lightly modded car if it is not SPECIFICALLY TUNED for the fuel. My AFRs where between 1 and 2 points too lean throughout the rev range. I'll post the dyno graphs up later.

But I do recommend that next time we keep a list of who is next on the dyno etc... I didn't mind staying around all day (til 5pm or so since 11.30am) to have my turn but I know that some people were getting a bit sick of waiting.

Cheers,

Rhett

Yeah Rhett i thought to myself on the day when you told be bout the 10% ethanol thing

that there's no way id run that in my car

i had a magna that almost died on that stuff

my afr were high too i showed my tuner and he said they were high but he said when he

tuned my car he made sure the were spot on so maybe that dyno afr's are out??? :whistling::P

he said he trusted his one cause he used a motec Top Of The Range Equipment???

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
